Michael Lynagh’s Guide to Adelaide & Beyond

Michael Lynagh, AM, is a legendary rugby union player. Representing Australia from 1984 to 1995, he was capped 72 times for Australia and was the world points scoring record holder when he retired. Now a Sky Sports rugby analyst in the UK and with sons forging their own international rugby careers, Michael is still very much connected to the sport.

Michael paid a visit to Adelaide ahead of the British & Irish Lions tour to check out what South Australia has in store for visiting rugby fans. Join him in the videos below as he explores the wine, wildlife and history of Adelaide and Kangaroo Island.
